KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 16 (Bernama) -- Malaysian world No.6 men’s doubles pair Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Mohd Rumsani needed just 28 minutes to defeat compatriots Chia Weijie-Teo Ee Yi 21-18, 21-11 to march into the Denmark Open quarter-finals at the SJF Bank Arena in Odense early this morning (Malaysian time).
But a tricky task awaits them in the last eight as they will face world No. 2 Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang, after the Chinese pair brushed aside Taiwanese siblings Lee Fang Chih-Lee Fang Jen 21-19, 21-15 in 35 minutes.
However, it was the end of the road for national mixed doubles pair Chen Tang Jie-Chan Wen Tse, who went down fighting 23-21,18-21, 20-22 to China’s world No. 6 Guo Xin Wa-Cheng Fang Hui in 65 minutes.
